"The car is painted LeMans blue with white fender
stripes. It's powered by a 355 small block chevy with Bowtie aluminum heads. The
heads include 2.02 intake valves, 1.6 exhaust valves , Lunati roller rockers, and
stud girdles. These are controlled by a custom hydraulic cam based on the L-82 grind
with a little more lift and duration with Crane fast bleed lifters. (He says the
car idles like a pup)
The engine has forged TRW flat tops with 58cc heads for a 10.8:1 compression ratio.
The fuel is distributed through an Edelbrock Torker II intake with a 650 Holley Double
Pumper Carb. Exhaust is removed from the engine through Hooker super competition
1-5/8" headers followed by 2-1/4" duals with Walker super turbo mufflers.
The engine is backed by a Tremec TKO 5-speed mounted through a Lakewood bell housing
with 11" Hays competition clutch. The rear is an original 8.2" 10-bolt
rear with 4.11 gears, Moroso posi
His best run to date is a 13.89 @ 100.55 with 275/60-15 street radials through the
mufflers." |

"I bought the car in 1886 for $4,500.00. The body and paint had
just been redone, but the drivetrain was rough. I built the current engine in 1990
and sold the other engine back to the original owner because it matched another Camaro
he owned. I have no idea where the original engine for my car is. I rebuilt the rear
and replaced the 4.56's with 4.11's in '91." |
| "While doing a clutch replacement in '99 I found a crack in the
bellhousing and a broken mounting tab on the tired Muncie M-20. The car sat for a
year until I saved enough for the Lakewwod bell and the TKO. On the first hard run
with the new tranny I cracked an axle tube at the spring perch, so the rear came
apart again. I plan on putting an 8.5" rear in it sometime soon and maybe some
frame connectors. I would also like to upgrade to a hydraulic roller cam. The engine
is severely under-cammed right now." |

Kerry even provided me with a few details about himself:
Kerry states, "I'm 44 and a resident of Williamstown, PA. I work as an electrician
at Ft. Indiantown Gap. I was a Track Vehicle Mechanic in the Army and was an auto
mechanic for a few years after. Electronics is my strong point. The mechanic stuff
was just a hobby that almost turned into a career. I was working on cars before I
was old enough to drive them. I did my first engine swap in my Mom's '68 Malibu when
I was 15." |
| "One of my other projects is a '75 Cadillac Coupe DeVille that
I built a 507 cube caddy engine for. It has custom 10.5:1 pistons, Blue Racer cam,
ported, polished and bowl blended heads with 2.11 intake 1.77 exhaust valves, a custom
shaft rocker setup and an Edelbrock Performer intake. It should make over 600 lbs/ft
of torque at 2,500 and about 475 HP at 5,000. They tend to fly apart past that rpm." |

"I have a 3.15 posi in it from my '73 Fleetwood limo (another
story) and with the turbo 400 and a 2,200 stall converter I'm hoping it'll run 15's
in the quarter. If not it should at least smoke the tires for days. It did a nice
job on one tire with 2.73's and the original smogged out 500. It got put on the back
burner so I could help a friend get his '70 Road Runner restored which is just about
ready for paint. I'm hoping he'll let me stroke the 383, but he's talking Hemi crate
engine now. Where's the fun in that?" |
